It's
hard to believe that this is the last week of Term 2. We will also be
celebrating the 100th Day of School on Thursday!
With
the term coming to a close, the students will be completing a couple language
arts based assessments. Our writing time this week will be spent doing the Term
2 Writing Prompt. The students will have a chance to show us all they have
learned about opinion writing. Also, each child will be given a Developmental
Reading Assessment to check in on their reading progress.
In
math this week we will be continuing with Unit 6. Students will solve two-step
number stories, learn how to make ball-park estimates, and begin to understand
a new addition strategy called "partial-sums."
We
will also have plenty of time for fun! We are still in the continent of North
America and focusing on the country of Mexico. The students will create their
scrapbook page and have the opportunity to make a Mexican craft.
Our
second grade performance rehearsals will continue this week. The kids are doing
a great job learning the songs and are eagerly awaiting their special parts.
On
Friday, we will have our Valentine's Day party! I hope you received the list of
classmates names to help with making valentines. This is by no means a
requirement, but if your child does decide to give out valentines, we ask that
they give one to every child in the class. It is a Robinson policy that
valentine's don't include food. Thank you for your cooperation.
Friendly Reminders:
Second

I
hope you have a wonderful and relaxing February vacation! I look forward to
seeing the children on the 22nd and hearing all about their week!
